In today's rapidly evolving digital landscape, organizations are confronted with an ever-growing number of cyber threats and security challenges. The need for robust data protection, governance, and security solutions has never been more critical. Veritas Technologies has taken a significant step in addressing these concerns with its groundbreaking 360 Defense architecture, which unifies data security, data protection, and data governance capabilities while integrating with top-tier security vendors. This innovative approach ensures that organizations recover quickly, identify data access permissions, and proactively mitigate threats. 

However, to truly fortify your data’s security and resilience, it's essential to complement Veritas 360 Defense with the right tools. This is where Wasabi, with its cutting-edge security features, comes into play. In this blog, we'll explore how the combination of Veritas 360 Defense and Wasabi's Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) support, S3 Object Lock for Object Immutability, and innovative Multi-User Authentication feature can provide additional value to customers. 

The Power of Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) 

MFA has become a cornerstone of modern cybersecurity. With Veritas 360 Defense and Wasabi’s MFA support working in tandem, your data is safeguarded with additional protection. Unauthorized access becomes significantly more challenging, as MFA requires users to provide two or more verification factors before gaining entry. This means that even if a malicious actor obtains login credentials, they won't be able to access your critical data without the second factor, such as a fingerprint scan or a time-sensitive code. 

Ensuring Data Immutability with S3 Object Lock 

Data immutability is a fundamental requirement for protecting data integrity. Veritas 360 Defense offers impressive data governance capabilities, but by integrating it with Wasabi's S3 Object Lock support, you achieve an extra level of security. S3 Object Lock ensures that once data is written to Wasabi's cloud storage, it becomes immutable for a specified retention period. This means that even if someone attempts to tamper with, maliciously encrypt, or delete your data, it remains preserved and intact, providing peace of mind against data manipulation or loss. 

Multi-User Authentication for Added Security 

In the fast-paced landscape of modern workplaces, the threat of unintended or deliberate account deletions looms large. Veritas 360 Defense confronts this challenge head-on with the introduction of the Multi-Person Authorization (MPA) feature, designed to place control critical settings that threat actors could exploit to delete backup data or change platform settings. When paired with Wasabi's Multi-User Authentication (MUA) feature, your organization gains the power to designate a team of security personnel who must collectively authorize any request to delete a Wasabi storage account. This proactive approach ensures that only authorized individuals can execute critical changes, providing an extra layer of data security and mitigating the potential for both accidental and deliberate data loss. 

A Winning Combination for Cyber Resilience 

Veritas 360 Defense has set the standard for cyber resilience by providing a comprehensive architecture that incorporates data security, data protection, and data governance. To strengthen this foundation and further fortify your organization against cyber threats, Wasabi offers a range of innovative features. The combination of Veritas 360 Defense and Wasabi's MFA support, S3 Object Lock for Object Immutability, and Multi-User Authentication feature creates a formidable shield against the ever-evolving threat landscape.
